Will not heat on any of the settings. Can i make the repairs?
For model number WED72HEDW1
Hello Sherry, thank you for your question. There are a few parts we would recommend testing to determine the issue. They are High Limit Thermostat and Thermal Cut-Off Kit Part Number: 279973, Thermostat, Internal-Bias Part Number: WP8577274, Thermostat Part Number: WP8557403, and Dryer Heater Element Part Number: WP8544771. Most of the time these heating issues are caused by one or more thermostats. The heating element is less common. Testing the thermostats are easy. Using a multimeter, Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If the test you conduct with your thermostat does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Dryer attempts to start then turns off immediately drum turns by hand vent and filter clean. What could cause this?
For model number WED72HEDW1
Hello Steve, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, there seems to be an error with the door switch, part number PS11753511. We hope this solves your problem!
Push control to start dryer tries to start drum turning then immediately stops.
Replaced door switch but did not correct the problem. Drum turns freely by hand.
For model number WED72HEDW1
Hello Steve, thank you for the question. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the thermal fuse, part number PS11766766. We hope this sorts out your problem!
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to remove and replace. I'm not looking forward to drum rollers though. Hopefully they're aren't as difficult as they appear.
I asked for advise, looked around and priced heating elements and thermostats. This was the best combo offered for the price given. It was shipped and received it very quick. Installed it and 5 minutes later, she was running like a champ!
First I removed back and top of dryer, then the support braces holding the drum, after that I took the drum out and the blower covers and cleaned the whole dryer of lint and other debris. Installed the new belt and then reassembled the dryer.
